John Jnrrett,s Attitude.

PITTsBURG, June John Jarrett will not go
to tho Harrisburg convention of the Iron and
Steel-workers' national assembly of the Knights
of Labor. He was invited. but has decided not
to 60. In an interview, to-day, he said: "Some
people have been trying to make me appear as
being opposed to the Amalgamated Association
OF Iron and Steel-workers It would be base in
gratitude were / to do the least thing against the
organization to which owe whatever measure
oil success have attained. / favor the organi-
cation of the men employed in the iron idustry,
hence believe that the Knights of Labor move
ment is one in the right direction. and feel
sure that neither organization wishes to en-

THE gang has given it out that one or more
prominent Republicans have been interested
in trying to prevent the finding of indict-
rnents against any one, Democrat or Repub-
.lican, by the federal grand jury, for the tally
sheet forgeries. Of course, this is lie, made
out of whole cloth by the gang. No Repub
lican ever did anything of the sort. It might,
however be very interesting reading to get
and publish the names and official standing of
some prominent Democrats who did make
that sort of effort.

the Mexican Congress to change the Constitu-

THE Sentinel is deeply distressed by the
sacred sorrow of the State of Illinois while it
is still in mourning for General Logan. This
is really and truly sad. The members of the

JOHN SHERMANs Springfield speech is not
'tstatesman-liAe;;" that is, it does not apollo
eize for the part the North took in putting
down rebellion, and does not "gush" over the
South and gostrate that all the greatness and
glory of the Nation must come from an
oblivion of the principles for which the civil
war was fought. For that reason the speech
was not that of "a statesman" according to
now prevalent in certain quarters.

"pR.. HARRISON AND ..coL." GRAY.

Now that the fight is on between these
worthless, a comparison of their respective
merits may not be without interest. Both
are bright lights Of the Indiana Democracy.
They both left the Republican party because
it was not good and pure enough for their I'M
sullied spirits Tin other words, because they
could not get all they wanted). Each
enjoyed a prefix to his name to which he was
entitled as tenant by the courtesy" only.
Gray was about as much Colonel as Har-
rison was doctor" Their political meth
DDS were the same. None in the party could
excel them in that occult power of ''whoop-
ing up the boys" so necessary to Democratic
success. Both have suffered from the shafts
of Republican malignity. Each has had
divine longings for the governorship. But
here we come to the 'fork of the roads"
In the "Coloners" case these longings have
been gratifed, while the Doctors" soul is
still a-hungered and a-thirst. The Colonel
forgets in his own hour of prosperity to
sympathize with the feelings of his brother.
and rudely turns him from the door unsatis-
fed. Men supposed at first that this
was in the interest of the ''reform" to
which they are both so deeply devoted.
But the Colonel says that the past acts of
the asylum board had nothing to do with it;
that there were no charges, complaints of
any kind; that he was bounced" simply be-
cause his term was up. In view of the many
in like position who still remain unbounced,
the Colonel seems to have made very un-'
just discrimination. Can he be jealous of the
good Doctors gubernatoral~ aspirations
Can he feel that some such ticket as "Har-
rison and Branaman" or Harrison and
Smith" is necessary to complete vindieation
of Indiana Democracy against the calumnious
assaults of the mugwumpse Heaven forbid
that such unworthy motives should invade
the heart of our chief executive. Let the
good cause 60 on, and let Sullivan, and Coy,
and Bernhamer, and Jack Howard, and the
Sentinel beat the drums and blow the bugles
while the good doctor" with his ample bay
window and the shining record of his past
achievements, gives dignity, and respectable
ity, and enthusiasm to the next ticket of the
Indiana Democracy as its illustrious head.
